Thanks to the Society of Australian Genealogists

This morning (Scottish time!) I delivered two lectures online as part of the Society of Australian Genealogists' (http://www.sag.org.au) two day webinar entitled Lost in England and Scotland.

The talks I gave were Down and Out in Scotland: Researching Ancestral Crisis, and The Godly Commonwealth: Discover Scottish Church Records - we had some great questions at the end, and I hope the talks will help those who attended with their ancestral pursuits (don't forget the handouts!). A huge thanks to Martyn Killion and Heather Garnsey for helping it to all go so smoothly!

I'm beginning to get the hang of these webinars, even if I look like a mad eejit doing a bad impression of Madonna whilst giving them!

If you weren't able to attend, two books I have written may help - Down and Out in Scotland: Researching Ancestral Crisis, and Discover Scottish Church Records (2nd edition) - see this blog's books section at http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/p/my-books.html for details on how to obtain a copy!
